Fame didn’t get her better treatment: The Nanny’s misdiagnosed cancer

She went to gynecologists, an internist, a hematologist (blood specialist), an oncologist/breast specialist, a vascular (vein and artery) specialist, and a neurologist (brain specialist) before discovering the cause of her bleeding, cramping, and painful sex to be early-stage uterine cancer.
